There’s loads of people who make the #NHS function When you turn up to your appointment, just know that all these people (& more!) work together to make it happen The interwoven relationships, teamwork & connections between staff are strong & will never be broken ✊

The landscape of improvement in #NHS needs to change We’re tired, burnt out, busy & stretched Rapid improvement isn’t sustainable Big launch events aren’t as powerful as small personal sparks Targets are not motivating That’s why I’m launching the improvement culture club 🔜

Things I’ve heard from people who hesitated to do improvement: “I’m just a band 2” “Am I allowed?” “No one listens to me” “I’m nervous” “I don’t have the skills” “I am not a leader” Believe in yourself You have the ideas &passion Improvement is not hierarchical Culture matters
